I grabbed these two jars of sauce while I was shopping at my local Aldi store. They sat on my pantry shelf for a while, I must admit. Then I got to thinking about what an easy way this would be to throw dinner in the crockpot one Saturday, and out they came.

I had some huge chicken breasts I had gotten then tossed in the freezer because I hadn’t gotten around to doing what I intended with them in a timely manner. So I grabbed those and thawed them some the night before then left them in the refrigerator overnight to do the rest. This package had five huge breasts that weighed in between six and seven pounds total, so I was glad I had gotten two jars of the sauce. I also wavered back and forth trying to decide if my smaller 5-quart crockpot would be big enough or if I needed to pull the 7-quart pot out.

I finally decided that the 5-quart would be the correct amount of full (2/3 full) so I used that size. Here is what it looked like before it cooked:

I rinsed the chicken before putting it in layers in the crockpot. I fit it all in in just two layers, then poured the two jars of sauce on top and cooked it all on high for about four hours.

Hubby loved it! The sauce thinned out a lot so before I put the leftovers away, I boiled it on the stovetop for a long time to let it cook down and thicken up then added it on top of the three chicken breasts that were leftover to have for dinner during the work week.

Here are all the parts of the jar label that you might want to see:

So, don’t be afraid to try new things. Especially if the new things are food products from Aldi because they have the Double Guarantee as shown on the label above. I have honestly never even considered trying to take advantage of this guarantee because I usually love everything I try from Aldi, though to be fair I don’t get things that I am fairly certain I won’t like. You know your tastes better than anyone, but don’t be afraid to broaden your food horizons. Did you know Aldi now offers delivery?

Have you tried a new product recently that you really liked? Be sure to share it in the comments so the rest of us can try it too.
